My parents are pretty much the same. Trying to get my dad to trust and/or use KMyMoney (or GNUCash for that matter) is like an uphill battle.

My family used to use Signal after the whole WhatsApp fiasco a few years ago. Everything was going fine until we switched back because of a family emergency. I suggested switching back several times after that, but to no avail :(

I remember having this exact conversation/ epiphany yesterday night with family

Ahhh. The cars I’ve been in (the most) are pre-2015 (2007 and 2014). Thanks!

I have a few friends who know how to sew, and they all say it’s an essential skill, and they did actu use that skill. I am also thinking of picking it up…

For context, me (and my friends) are all under 20

They no longer put […] cigarette lighters in vehicles

I thought they still did? Just isn’t referred as “Cigarette lighter” anymore?

This might be me being kind of pedantic, but this might actually be adwaita instead of LO. I’ve noticed on RNote (a GTK app that uses adwaita), that the save icon is as you described, whereas on KDE’s breeze and oxygen icon themes (and I’m sure many others), the save icon is still a floppy.

I am using an application called “Jan AI” for this exact thing. it runs completely locally, and you can make your own assistants. I have a converation therapy assistant that I made with the help of the main ai, and it helps.

The app only works on desktop for local though

I’d also recommend the A series (I got recommended the A1 from a friend when I was starting out), and it’s been pretty great so far. As for the slicers, I know you can use OrcaSlicer with Bambu printers (as well as with a ton of others too)

no problem!

P.S. You don’t need a WiFi card to use KDE Connect. I have it set up on my desktop (Ethernet only), and it works perfectly. I think you do have to make sure that it connects through the same router that the wired connection uses.

On a sidenote to that, if you install kde-config-flatpak, it enables a permissions management page in system settings, similar to flatseal I believe. I haven’t been able to try it out myself, so I don’t know how well it works.

For the icloud sync, you could try rclone

Here is a tutorial to help you get started: https://rclone.org/iclouddrive/

The current Virtual Keyboard solution on KDE ( maliit ) isn’t working quite as much as i’d like. It only works on GTK apps, and only sometimes shows. When it does, it won’t relaunch after dismissal untill you kill it. Add to that it’s not as feature-dense as its windows alternatives.

I hear that they are working on their own plasma-keyboard, and I hope that will fix most of these issues, but I haven’t had the tim to update my system.

I installed power-profiles-daemon on my laptop (and configured it in the settings) a while back and noticed a bit better battery life. Maybe it could also be the kernel? I updated mine a while back and there was also an improvement.

Perhaps for the phone you could try something like KDE Connect. You have to be on the same wifi, but once connected, you can do things like remote input, sharing the clipboard, sending sms, sending files, and you can browse files from the PC.

Some things I have listed here may differ as I am on an Android

I am currently using dolphin, and I would highly recommend. I tried xfe before. It’s highly customizable, but opening files was king of annoying  (you had to manually input the path of the application)

E: more information

Their free plan of onedrive is only 5gb now :(

I remember reading (I think on Wikipedia or something? ) that they used to offer unlimited when they were SkyDrive. But I may be wrong (it’s been a few years)

boop

Same here. I mostly type on my phone alot. So autocorrect here is a lifesaver, either that or I will type slower/ with one thumb.

Yes. They added it a few months ago i believe.

Yeah, that is a big plus too (that, and the federation). This can hopefully mean that lemmy can never turn into what reddit currently is.
